It's episode 6 of season 2.

I think I remember reading that when they were casting for the show, they were looking for someone around 25 to play Bo. Of course, John lied about his age (and background and driving skills).

Dr. Homer WILLIS

The Dukes in URBEKISTAN I never worked out why this animated episode used a made-up a place name only one letter different from a real country. Maybe the writers couldn't spell Uzbekistan.

I pointed out in a PM to Sonja that Ben was 38-44 while filming the show. Cooter had his own farm and his own business, and seemed to be a pretty experienced mechanic, so does around 40 sound right? It would be nice if we could nail down the main characters' ages, but it may prove difficult.

Even though left-hand-drive is the standard in Continental Europe, we get very few here (other than tourists). It tends to be only a handful of US and European cars of a certain age which were never made in right-hand-drive. Believe it or not, 2016 was the first generation Mustang available as right-hand-drive from the factory, although small companies in the UK used to convert them. In the UK there's a market for used cars imported from Japan (Nissan Skylines etc.), but Japan is also a right-hand-drive market. The main problem with vintage American cars in the UK and Ireland (other than their size and fuel consumption) is the lack or orange turn signals. There are some clever conversion kits which preserve the original look of the car, while other owners just wire in temporary lights to pass their annual test. I spoke to a General Lee replica owner at a US car show a couple of months ago, and when he took his car to be tested, the tester told him he couldn't test it because it didn't have headlights!

Well remembered, Roth. That was Wayne Duke down in Dorset (south-west England) back in 2014. I know I posted about it at the time, but you can read an update saying that the charges were dropped at www.dorsetecho.co.uk.

It looks like the British police have finally done what Boss and Rosco struggled with - they've caught the General Lee. The car in question was a replica which had broken down with gearbox trouble (I thought the General only got the vapors!). The police took the opportunity to make a couple of tweets, but admitted that the car was "fully road legal" and no offences had been committed. Full story at www.bbc.com.
